Major spoilers are included in episode reviews. Please read with cautions.

The latest episode took a break from everyone else to center on Michael and his reaction to the execution of his allies. He does not take it well. Cordelia confronts Michael and gives him a chance to join their side, to avoid becoming what people are calling him, “The Anti-Christ”, but he refuses and vows to kill them all.

Michael leaves for the woods and calls out for his father to help him. He remains in the exact spot for four days, which makes me wonder how he could do that without going insane. Turns out, he kind of went psycho. He saw crazy hallucinations that made me laugh until the goat killing. I don’t think the intention was laughter, but that’s what happened. That’s how I spent my Halloween.

There were a lot of Satan Worshipers after that torture.

The Devil Boy manages to sway the followers to his side, but none had answers for him. Rather, they expected him to know what to do. This is kind of amusing to know Michael is the Devil but has no idea how to bring about the end of the world. He wants his mother-figure back, Mead.

He arrives at a private company and meets two scientists. Some of the worst wigs I’ve ever seen to say the least. Although, the brief appearance of Ms. Venable (Sarah Paulson) and her line, “I am HR, bitch” might become as iconic as “surprise bitch”.

Michael inquires the company, the two scientists, to construct a robotic Mead to replace the original, which they agree to do after he burns a woman alive to prove he’s the devil. They do as they’re told and began to recreate Mead.

The episode ends with her completion. She wakes up and tells Michael how much she misses him. I hope the action picks up after this because I don’t think there are many episodes left in the season. We have to figure out how the world blew up and to get caught up with the “present” day of Michael vs The Coven.
